This workshop will concentrate on the most common driveability problems encountered on domestic vehicles.  The workshop is designed with a combination of classroom and hands on education.  In 2008, all vehicle manufacturers had to be CAN compliant, with this mandate the ‘generic’ scan tool data was enhanced greatly.  These enhancements will be covered in detail.  Technicians will learn to test the function of various engine management systems.  OBDII aftermarket test equipment is used to show the best procedures to test and repair.  Diagnosis of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) top ten emissions related DTC’s will be discussed and system repairs will be performed in our state-of-the art service bays.  Analyze Mode 5, 6, 7, 8, data as they relate to OBD II diagnostics.  Explore the industry’s newest aftermarket test equipment and resources available for fast, efficient vehicle repair.

Prerequisite: Attendance of TEC304, TEC305 or TEC306 or ASE Certification in A-6 (Electrical/Electronics) or A-8 (Engine Performance).

After completing this workshop, the student will be able to:

• Utilize NEW J1979 OBD II generic parameters for emissions related MIL failures.
